Yosua 7
1 Nanso Israel anni nokware wɔ nneɛma a wogyaw maa Awurade no ho. Ɔbarima bi a wɔfrɛ no Akan wiaa saa nneɛma no bi, enti Awurade bo fuw Israelfo no yiye. Akan yɛ Karmi a ɔyɛ Simri a na ɔbɔ Serah abusua a ɛwɔ Yuda abusuakuw mu no babarima.
Koma Aisraeli anachita zachinyengo ndi lamulo lija loti asatenge kalikonse koyenera kuwonongedwa. Akani mwana wa Karimi, mwana wa Zabidi, mwana wa Zera, wa fuko la Yuda anatengako zinthu zina. Choncho Yehova anakwiyira Israeli kwambiri.
2 Yosua somaa ne nnipa no bi fi Yeriko sɛ wɔnkɔsra Ai kuropɔn a ɛwɔ Bet-El apuei a ɛbɛn Bet-Awen no.
Tsono Yoswa anatuma anthu kuchokera ku Yeriko kukazonda ku mzinda wa Ai umene uli pafupi ndi mzinda wa Beti-Aveni kummawa kwa Beteli, ndipo anawawuza kuti, “Pitani mukazonde chigawochi.” Anthuwo anapitadi kukazonda Ai.
3 Wɔsan bae no, wɔbɛka kyerɛɛ Yosua se, “Kurow no sua nti, ɛrenhia nnipa mpennu anaa mpensa sɛ wɔbɛsɛe kuropɔn no. Ɛho nhia sɛ yɛn nyinaa bɛkɔ hɔ.”
Atabwera kwa Yoswa, anamuwuza kuti, “Sikofunika kuti apite anthu onse kukathira nkhondo mzinda wa Ai. Mutumizeko anthu 2,000 kapena 3,000 kuti akatenge mzindawo. Musawatume anthu onse kumeneko popeza kuli anthu ochepa.”
4 Enti wɔde akofo bɛyɛ mpensa kɔɔ hɔ, nanso wodii Israelfo no so pasaa. Ai mmarima
Choncho kunapita anthu 3,000. Koma iwo anathamangitsidwa ndi anthu a ku Ai.
5 taa Israelfo no fi kuropɔn no pon ano kosii Sebarim, na wokunkum wɔn mu nnipa bɛyɛ aduasa asia a na wɔreguan afi akono wɔ asiansian bi so. Ɛbaa saa no, ehu bɔɔ Israelfo no ma wɔbotowee.
Anthu a ku Ai anathamangitsa Aisraeli kuchokera pa chipata cha mzindawo mpaka ku ngwenya ndipo anapha anthu 36. Iwowa anawapha pamene ankatsika phiri. Choncho mitima ya anthu inasweka ndipo analibenso mphamvu.
6 Yosua ne ɔman ntuanofo no de abasamtu tetew wɔn ntade mu, tow mfutuma guu wɔn tirim, bɔɔ wɔn mu ase, wɔ Awurade Adaka no anim kosii anwummere.
Tsono Yoswa anangʼamba zovala zake nagwada nʼkuweramitsa mutu wake pansi patsogolo pa Bokosi la Yehova. Akuluakulu a Israeli nawonso anadzigwetsa pansi ndipo anakhala pomwepo mpaka madzulo atadziwaza fumbi kumutu kwawo.
7 Afei, Yosua su frɛɛ Awurade se, “Otumfo Awurade, adɛn na wode yɛn twaa Asubɔnten Yordan a wunim sɛ Amorifo no bekunkum yɛn? Sɛ yenim a, anka yɛtenaa Asubɔnten Yordan agya hɔ ara.
Ndipo Yoswa anati, “Kalanga ine, Ambuye Wamphamvuzonse chifukwa chiyani munatiwolotsa Yorodani? Kodi mumalinga zotipereka mʼmanja mwa Aamori kuti atiwononge chotere? Kukanakhala kwabwino ife tikanakhala tsidya linalo la Yorodani!
8 Awurade, mprempren a Israelfo aguan afi wɔn atamfo anim yi, asɛm bɛn na menka?
Tsono Ambuye, ine ndinene chiyani, pakuti tsopano Israeli anathamangitsidwa ndi adani ake?
9 Na sɛ Kanaanfo ne nnipa a wɔaka a wɔtete asase yi so te saa asɛm yi a, wobetwa yɛn ho ahyia na wɔatɔre yɛn afi asase yi so. Na afei dɛn na wobɛyɛ de ahyɛ wo din kɛse a ekura anuonyam no?”
Akanaani ndi anthu ena a dziko lino adzamva zimenezi ndipo adzatizinga ndi kutiwonongeratu. Nanga inu mudzatani ndi dzina lanu lamphamvulo?”
10 Na Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Yosua se, “Sɔre! Adɛn nti na wode wʼanim abutuw hɔ saa?
Koma Yehova anati kwa Yoswa, “Imirira! Chifukwa chiyani wagwada pansi chotere?
11 Israel ayɛ bɔne. Wɔabu mʼapam no so. Wɔawia nneɛma a mehyɛɛ sɛ wonnyaw mma me no. Na ɛnyɛ sɛ wɔawia nko, na mmom, wɔatwa ho nkontompo de asie wɔn nneɛma mu.
Aisraeli achimwa. Iwo aphwanya pangano limene ndinawalamula kuti asunge. Anatengako zinthu zina zofunika kuwonongedwa. Choncho anabako, ananena bodza ndi kuyika zinthu zakubazo pamodzi ndi katundu wawo.
12 Ɛno nti na Israelfo adi nkogu na wɔreguan afi wɔn atamfo anim. Mprempren de, wɔayi Israel asi hɔ ama ɔsɛe. Merenka mo ho bio, gye sɛ mosɛe biribiara a ɛwɔ mo nkyɛn a anka ɛsɛ sɛ mosɛe no.
Nʼchifukwa chake Aisraeli sangathe kulimbana ndi adani awo. Iwo anathawa pamaso pa adani awo chifukwa ndiwo oyenera kuwonongedwa. Ine sindikhalanso ndi inu pokhapokha mutawononga chilichonse choyenera kuwonongedwa pakati panu.
13 “Sɔre! Kɔka kyerɛ nnipa no se, ‘Obiara nkodwira ne ho mma ɔkyena, na saa na Awurade, Israel Nyankopɔn se: Israel, mode nneɛma a anka ɛsɛ sɛ wogyaw ma Awurade no ahintaw mo mu. Morentumi nni mo atamfo so da kosi sɛ muyi saa nneɛma no fi mo mu.
“Nyamuka, ukawawuze anthu kuti, ‘Mudzipatule nokha kukonzekera kuonana nane mawa; pakuti Yehova Mulungu wa Israeli akuti choyenera kuwonongedwa chija chili pakati panu, inu Aisraeli. Simungathe kulimbana ndi adani anu mpaka mutachichotsa.’
14 “‘Adekyee mu no, abusuakuw biara bɛba, na Awurade bɛkyerɛ abusuakuw a wɔn ho wɔ asɛm no. Saa abusuakuw no de wɔn mmusuaban no nso bɛba, na Awurade bɛkyerɛ abusuaban a ne ho wɔ asɛm no. Saa abusuaban no nso bɛba, na Awurade bɛkyerɛ ofi a ne ho wɔ asɛm no. Awiei no, ofi a ne ho wɔ asɛm no mu nnipa bɛba mmaako mmaako.
“Mawa mmamawa adzabwere pamaso pa Yehova fuko limodzilimodzi. Fuko limene Yehova adzaliloze lidzabwere patsogolo mbumba imodziimodzi. Tsono mbumba imene Yehova adzayiloze idzabwere patsogolo banja limodzilimodzi. Banja limene Yehova adzaliloze lidzabwere patsogolo munthu mmodzimmodzi.
15 Onipa a wawia nneɛma a anka ɛsɛ sɛ wɔsɛe no no, wɔbɛhyew no ne nʼagyapade nyinaa, efisɛ wabu Awurade apam no so na wayɛ nea ɛmfra koraa wɔ Israel.’”
Iye amene adzagwidwe ndi zinthu zoyenera kuwonongedwazo adzawotchedwa ndi moto, pamodzi ndi banja lake lonse ndi zinthu zake zonse. Iyeyutu wachita chinthu chonyansa pakati pa Aisraeli ndi kuphwanya pangano limene anthu anga anachita ndi Ine!”
16 Ade kyee anɔpahema no, Yosua de Israel mmusuakuw no baa Awurade anim, na woyii Yuda abusuakuw no.
Mmawa mwake Yoswa anabweretsa Israeli fuko limodzilimodzi ndipo fuko la Yuda linalozedwa.
17 Afei Yuda mmusuaban baa anim, na woyii Serafo. Afei Serafo nyinaa baa Awurade anim, na woyii Simrifo.
Anabweretsa poyera mbumba zonse za fuko la Yuda, ndipo mbumba ya Zera inagwidwa. Kenaka anatulutsa poyera mabanja onse a mbumba ya Zera ndipo banja la Zabidi linagwidwa.
18 Na Simrifo baa mmaako mmaako na woyii Akan, Karmi ba.
Potsiriza anatulutsa anthu onse a banja la Zabidi ndipo Akani anagwidwa. Iyeyu anali mwana wa Karimi, mwana wa Zabidi, mwana wa Zera wa fuko la Yuda.
19 Afei, Yosua ka kyerɛɛ Akan se, “Me ba, fa anuonyam ma Awurade, Israel Nyankopɔn, na ka nokware. Ka wo bɔne ne nea wayɛ kyerɛ me. Mfa nsie me.”
Ndipo Yoswa anati kwa Akani, “Mwana wanga pereka ulemerero kwa Yehova Mulungu wa Israeli ndipo umuyamike Iye. Ndiwuze zimene wachita, ndipo usandibisire.”
20 Akan buae se, “Mayɛ bɔne atia Awurade, Israel Nyankopɔn.
Akani anayankha kuti, “Zoona! Ine ndachimwira Yehova Mulungu wa Israeli. Chimene ndachita ine ndi ichi:
21 Mihuu atade nguguso fɛfɛ bi a wɔkra fii Babilonia, dwetɛ kilogram abien ne fa ne sikakɔkɔɔ pema baako a ano si gram ahannum ne aduoson. Mʼani beree, enti mefae. Mede asie fam wɔ me ntamadan mu, na dwetɛ no de, ɛhyɛ fam kyɛn nkae no.”
Ndinaona mwa zinthu zolanda ku nkhondo zija, mkanjo wokongola wa ku Babuloni, makilogalamu awiri a siliva ndiponso golide wolemera theka la kilogalamu. Zimenezi ndinazikhumba ndipo ndinazitenga. Ndazibisa mʼkati mwa tenti yanga, ndipo siliva ali pansi pake.”
22 Enti Yosua somaa mmarima bi sɛ wɔnkɔhwehwɛ. Wotutuu mmirika kɔɔ ntamadan no mu kohuu awifode no sɛ wɔde asie wɔ hɔ, sɛnea Akan kae no ara pɛ, na ɔde dwetɛ no asie nneɛma a aka no ase tɔnn.
Motero Yoswa anatuma anthu, ndipo anathamanga kupita ku tenti. Anthuwo anakapeza kuti zinthuzo zinabisidwadi mʼtenti yake, ndipo siliva analidi pansi pake.
23 Wɔtasee nneɛma no fii ntamadan no mu de brɛɛ Yosua ne Israelfo no nyinaa. Wɔde ne nyinaa guu fam wɔ Awurade anim.
Iwo anazichotsa zinthuzo mu tenti yake nabwera nazo kwa Yoswa ndi kwa Aisraeli onse ndipo anaziyika pamaso pa Yehova.
24 Afei, Yosua ne Israelfo no nyinaa faa Serah babarima Akan, dwetɛ no, atade nguguso no, sikakɔkɔɔ pema no, ne mmabarima, ne mmabea, nʼanantwi, ne mfurum, ne nguan, ne ntamadan ne nʼagyapade nyinaa na wɔde no baa Akora bon mu.
Kenaka Yoswa pamodzi ndi Aisraeli onse anatenga Akani mwana wa Zera pamodzi ndi siliva, mkanjo, golide zimene anapezeka nazo zija. Anatenganso ana ake aamuna ndi aakazi, ngʼombe zake, abulu ndi nkhosa, tenti yake ndi zonse anali nazo, kupita nazo ku chigwa cha Akori.
25 Yosua bisaa Akan se, “Adɛn nti na wode saa ɔhaw yi abrɛ yɛn? Wo nso, Awurade de ɔhaw bɛbrɛ wo.” Na Israelfo nyinaa siw Akan ne nʼabusuafo abo, hyew wɔn amu no.
Yoswa anati “Chifukwa chiyani wabweretsa mavuto awa pa ife? Yehova ndiye abweretse mavuto pa iwe lero.” Kenaka Aisraeli onse anaponya miyala Akani, namupha. Anaponyanso miyala banja lake lonse, nʼkulipha. Pambuyo pake anatentha Akani uja, banja lake ndi zonse zimene anali nazo.
26 Wɔsoaa abo guu Akan funu so hɔree no siw a ɛda so wɔ hɔ besi nnɛ. Enti na wɔafrɛ saa beae hɔ Ɔhaw Bon no. Afei, Awurade bo dwoe.
Anawunjika mulu waukulu wa miyala pa Akani, imene ilipobe mpaka lero. Nʼchifukwa chake malowa amatchedwa chigwa cha Akori mpaka lero. Ndipo Yehova anachotsa mkwiyo wake.
